Boys enjoy strong start in summer league

by nathan oster

Summer league is underway for members of the Greybull High School basketball program.

The team led by Coach Jim Prather went 6-1 at the Montana State University-Billings Tournament held May 24-26, losing only to Lustre Christian in the championship game. The Buffs won their pool, going 3-0, then racked up three straight wins in the single-elimination tournament to advance to the championship game.

Sixteen teams were in Greybull’s bracket.

The Buffs used a roster of 14 players and all of them played in every game.

The Greybull boys then notched a split on their home floor May 28, beating Tongue River by 20 but losing to Cody by nine. They are currently on their “barnstorming” tour of Washington state, which runs through June 7.
